But some people say that it contributes to early menstraraution for girls, etc. Also, have you read about it? These cows are given significantly more antibiotics than others and their milk contains a lot of puss. Got milk? -- jmk in NC |

In article , Tim Tyler wrote:
My impression is that Atkins diet restricts carbohydrates - but not fat or protein. So people eat more fat and protein to make up for the lack of carbohydrates. Ahh, but you're forgetting about the rest of it. Many people find that when they reduce the amount of sugar in their diet, and increase the fat and protein, that their appetite decreases and they eat less of _everything_ overall. An example from my own life: Pre low-carb, for dinner when my dad cooked, I could eat a salad, a starchy side like rice or potatoes, and a huge steak. Then I could have seconds on the starch, or even thirds on the starch, and still not feel full, have ice cream or doughnuts for dessert, and then an hour or two later be hungry again and sit in front of the tv and eat some chips or leftover rice or potatoes from dinner. Now that I've replaced the starchy side with a side of brocolli or spinach, I don't get the fake hunger feelings that were triggered by sugars and starches, so I am full on a salad, the brocolli, and about half the amount of steak I used to eat. No dessert, feel satisfied without feeling "stuffed" no need for late night snacks. Since I'm not eating 2 or 3 servings of rice or potatoes, the _percentage_ of fat and protein in that meal may be higher, even though the actual _amount_ is lower! -- Michelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. |

'Put fat children on Atkins diet'
My understanding is that growth hormone, like insulin, will be completely
broken down by the digestive process which is why growth hormone (and insulin) must be injected to bypass the normal digestion process. I don't drink milk because of an allergy but I suspect that if I drank a gallon of milk a day (and didn't lose my cookies), I would be hooge, too. I can't speak to other hormones in milk because it never occurred to me to investigate being that I don't drink enough of it to be concerned. j "Perple Gyrl" wrote in message ... I stopped drinking milk about 5 years ago. Prior to that, I would drink 2-3 gallons a week by myself. Within a couple of months of stopping, my face cleared up considerably and I wasn't nearly as bloated. I used to have terrible cystic acne due to my pcos. Not drinking that stuff helped me clear it up. I avoid it now, except when it is occassionally an ingrediant in something I am eating (i.e. low calorie dessert bars, etc.). I never knew that about the growth hormones! I do know that I did grow up pretty tall and big boned in a short family. I wonder if excess milk consumption during childhood contributed to that. I am a bit over 5'9, my sister and mom are 5'5 and my dad is 5'10. I am the tallest female on both sides of my family and I have a ton of cousins. No one knows where I got the height from.

I've drank more than 2 gallons a day in the past (that's how I got up to 240
lbs), and I don't think I was affected by any growth hormones that were administered to the cows. n = 1 -- Most of us probably aren't in danger of eating too little. Becky P.

'Put fat children on Atkins diet'
"Diarmid Logan" wrote in http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3509792.stm 'Put fat children on Atkins diet' Per JAMA 2003 Aug 912-20 They (John Hopkins) took 141 kids with seizure disorders into the study, mean age was approx 5-6 yo. Findings were that a high fat ketogenic diet produced significant increase in the atherogenic apoB-containing proteins and a decrease in antiartherogenic HDL cholesterol. Just one study, and I'm hoping they mean a high percentage of calories came from fats, not that they were feeding the kids diets of whale blubber or anything ;-) Of course, some argument can be made that Atkins is probably better than all the refined sugar and transfats the fat kid might have eaten to get that way. Diabetes Type 2 is on the rise in kids, a disease we are more used to seeing onset in 40 year olds. It all boils down to the same old same old. Calories in = Calories out and we have no weight gain. Kids need more physical activity and less high fructose corn syrup. Kids are not "little adults" and their ideal nutritional needs are not exactly identical to ours. Nonscientific, but I did not see the level of "fatness" in Europe that I am noticing here in the USA. |

Shanghai'd by the Atkins zombie hordes ;-) Don't take it from me: ``[Dr. Atkins' dietetic revolution: a critique] [...] The diet, though far from good, is better than the book. ATKINS' theories are at best half-truths, and the results he claims lack credibility. The obese subject's disappointment with traditional reducing diets and the book's hard-sell style account for ATKINS' success.'' - http://calorierestriction.org/pmid/?n=897645 .... ....and this - on how well researched the diet has been: ``A randomized trial of a low-carbohydrate diet for obesity Despite the popularity of the low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat (Atkins) diet, no randomized, controlled trials have evaluated its efficacy. [...] The low-carbohydrate diet produced a greater weight loss (absolute difference, approximately 4 percent) than did the conventional diet for the first six months, but the differences were not significant at one year. The low-carbohydrate diet was associated with a greater improvement in some risk factors for coronary heart disease. Adherence was poor and attrition was high in both groups. Longer and larger studies are required to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diets.'' - http://calorierestriction.org/pmid/?n=12761365 Experiment on yourselves by all means - but don't claim afterwards nobody warned you - and maybe hold off putting kids on the diet until it has been better researched. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ Remove lock to reply. |

How stupid can it get!!! Get them out the door to exercise and don't take them to McDonald's and make them eat fruit instead of chips. There is not long-term data on Atkins and it's dangerous to do something to kids that isn't adequately tested on adults. That didn't stop anyone from putting children on low-fat diets. brian 290/228/210 july 8, 2003 |

So people eat more fat and protein to make up for the lack of carbohydrates. The Atkins diet appears to be a bad one :-| People should be encouraged to eat more fruit and vegetables - not to replace them with animal fat. I'm eating the exact same amount of fat and protien as I did before the diet. The only things I'm doing different: I stopped all refined sugar. I removed some fruits but not all. I stopped all refined flour and only eat small amounts of whole wheat. I stopped all white rice (i don't like wild rice). I stopped all potatos and generally replaced them with vegitables. That change made me lose 60 pounds in five months with no significant exercise. I have maybe 10 or 20 to go which I'm having a hard time losing because my calories are too high. My weight has been stable for four months now. I plan to start running again when the snow/ice clears, which I expect will make me lose the rest in 3 months or so. I tried to start running again when I was 290. I got about 100 feet and felt like I was going to die. One flight of stairs was enough to make me out of breath. The other night, I ran a mile without stopping. Tonight, I'm going to a steak house chain to eat a 16 ounce steak and vegies, plus a salad with no dressing. How is this not healthy? Because I didn't eat two loaves of bread with it? or three mugs of coke? Or a giant baked potato? When I get to my goal weight, I'll eat just enough carbs to keep me out of ketosis. 44" to 36" waist, 3xlt to lt shirt size, 30 point blood pressure drop, 186 cholesterol, and I can run again. I'm never going back. brian 290/228/210 july 8, 2003 |
